^^ it will be interesting to see what happens. the pats put up a big raise, lets see if someone calls em on it.

the pats were in a kind of odd predictament to have to franchise tag their back-up qb (see what good drafting does). it gives them insurance on brady and guarantees a heavy return if another team wants him, plus they got cap room if noone tries to grab Cassel.
